About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>SD Gundam G Next is a turn-based strategy game with action minigames for combat. It is based on the <a href="/gundam/3025-290/" data-ref-id="3025-290">Gundam</a> universe, and specifically the <a href="/sd-gundam/3025-1028/" data-ref-id="3025-1028">SD Gundam</a> spin-off universe which reimagines the mecha as <a href="/super-deformation/3015-1196/" data-ref-id="3015-1196">super deformed</a> robots that operate without human pilots. The game takes place during the Universal Century setting of the original series rather than the <em>G Gundam</em> setting, though some <em>G Gundam</em> and <em>Gundam Wing</em> mechas are included.</p><p>SD Gundam G Next was also made available on the <a href="/satellaview/3045-98/" data-ref-id="3045-98">Satellaview</a> service. The physical game was followed by the enhanced SD Gundam G Next: Senyou ROM Pack &amp; Map Collection that collected together the various <a href="/downloadable-content/3015-329/" data-ref-id="3015-329">downloadable content</a> available for the Satellaview version.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The player can choose to play one of the game's many scenarios, each of which has a pre-determined map and number of allied units and enemy units, or they can opt to create their own campaign. A campaign can be configured by the player before it begins, including the number of turns, the number of CPU opponents, each side's starting capital and the banners of each side.</p><p>Whenever the player attacks another unit or an installation, the game switches to an action minigame. When fighting units, the player and the enemy unit(s) fly around in a 2D environment attempting to destroy their opponents with whatever weapons they have equipped. When attempting to conquer a base, the player flies down from above and tries to destroy the base's blast doors before its defenses can shoot the player's Gundam down. This minigame uses the Super Famicom's <a href="/mode-7/3015-184/" data-ref-id="3015-184">Mode 7</a> to spin the ground textures as the player circles around the base to avoid its turret fire. If another allied Gundam is adjacent on the map before a player initiates these attacks, they add their support to that player.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
